Obverse

President George Washington is found on the obverse of the 2013-P Burnished ATB Perrys Victory 5 oz Silver Coin. This left-profile portrait of Washington was created for the US quarter in 1932 by John Flanagan. A Bicentennial Commission had recommended replacing the Walking Liberty Half Dollar design for just one year in 1932 to mark Washingtons 200th birthday, but Congress opted to put his bust on the quarter permanently starting in 1932 as a replacement for the suspended Standing Liberty design.
